00:00When they called me, I thought they wanted me to do Pedro el Escamoso, Miguel's character.
00:04And I said, what do you mean? It's a new version of Pedro el Escamoso, do you want me to do Pedro el Escamoso?
00:09No, no, no. They explained to me, Miguel comes back, he makes his character more iconic,
00:13this series comes back, which was an icon in Colombia, it's like the flag of Colombia,
00:19and we want you to do the son.
00:21But the son has nothing to do with the first version, it's a completely different story,
00:26where we are going to bring a very up-to-date juvenile part,
00:29but Miguel comes back with his iconic character and these two worlds come together,
00:34the juvenile with the senior, so to speak.
00:38And they convinced me, I loved the story, I loved that Miguel was there,
00:42I've admired him a lot since I was very young,
00:44I thought I was going to have the opportunity to work with him,
00:47and he gave me, he gave me in this project, actor to actor,
00:50so happy, happy to be part of this new season.
00:54And if it's not Pedro?
00:55Long live Piri!
00:57Dad?
00:58A world phenomenon that conquers hearts.
01:00Here you have me, beautiful.
01:02Pedro el Escamoso, great premiere, Wednesday, September 18 at 10, for Univision.
01:06See you later.
01:07I remember meeting Miguel in rehearsals for the first time,
01:11I had already known him as a producer, he had been my producer in a series,
01:15but we met for the first time as actor to actor in rehearsals,
01:19Miguel had the character as if he had finished recording the first season a week ago,
01:25he had it perfect, intact, so nothing, that gave me even more nerves,
01:31I said, here you have to get in line and stick to Miguel's rhythm,
01:36and get this out as best as possible.
01:39We had a lot of fun, we had a lot of fun,
01:41the whole Disney team was behind this project, Caracol Televisión,
01:45very aware of each rehearsal, very aware of each decision,
01:50the look, the scenes, the character, the setting,
01:58it is a project, as you well know, that was very successful in Colombia,
02:03so it is one of those projects with a sense of the channel,
02:06so this new season they took care of every detail,
02:09it was a huge team behind the camera taking care of every detail,
02:13every thing, every scene, which sometimes fills you with a little nervousness,
02:17but in the end you realize that it is worth it when you work as a team,
02:20and there are so many directives, there are so many directives pending for each detail,
02:26you realize that it is worth it when you see the final result.
02:29Pedro Corral Jr., who is my character, had a very different upbringing from his father's,
02:34he has had the privilege of studying at a great university,
02:38of getting a great position in a very important company,
02:41being the vice president of a very important company,
02:44creating a status, let's say, in a way, in his country,
02:49both economically and personally,
02:52he has been related to another style of people,
02:55and when his father comes from one day to another to his house,
02:58after 20 years, his life becomes chaotic,
03:03but that's what the story is about, the contrast of these two worlds,
03:08and in the end it gives the message that you have to accept,
03:12you have to accept the other with his defects, with his virtues,
03:15Pedro Corral Jr. undoubtedly has an absence, an emptiness in his heart,
03:20because he has not seen his father for 20, 23 years,
03:23and that has caused him a resentment towards him,
03:27but during the story they will meet again,
03:31reconciling, rebuilding that father-son relationship,
03:36and during this process it will be very fun,
03:39you will find yourself in very, very funny situations,
03:42not only the characters of these two, with all the cast that surrounds us,
03:46to get to the end that they manage again to accept themselves as father and son,
03:52which so far has not happened in the first two chapters that you saw,
03:56and they have to wait a little bit.
03:58As Miguel says, first he is a great character,
04:01I have always told him, he is more funny than Pedro,
04:03he always arrives with a good attitude, with positivism,
04:08always with a joke to tell, dancing, enjoying,
04:14but what was most difficult for me, apart from the scenes and how funny they are,
04:18was the issue of the voice in Oz, right?
04:20Pedro El Escamoso is a character who is thinking all the time,
04:23that all the time we listen to his thoughts, which seems great to me,
04:27that is, that resource seems fantastic to me,
04:31because he thinks everything opposite to what he says,
04:34everything opposite to what he says, that is, he does not like something,
04:36the thought says, I don't know, this is horrible,
04:39but you ask him what he thought, delicious, I love this,
04:42what a good plate of food,
04:44so that contrast seems great to me,
04:46but I did not know, because I had never recorded the first season,
04:51that one listened to the thoughts there and on the scene,
04:55I thought they put that in post-production, in editing,
04:58no, we have literally what is called a talkback,
05:01a talker next to the set,
05:03and we have to stop to listen to Pedro's thoughts
05:07and resume the scene as if nothing had happened,
05:10so holding back laughter with Pedro's thoughts
05:14was undoubtedly for me the most difficult part of the shoot,
05:17that is, when he thought and had to put a serious face
05:20and continue in the scene, it was very difficult,
05:24because you are listening all the time to what he thinks,
05:26and at the same time he thinks,
05:28oh, my Bonfiri, will I run? Will I leave here?
05:30Will I go out?
05:32And I noticed everything serious in the scene,
05:34that part was the one that was most difficult for me,
05:36apart from the pleasure of working with Miguel,
05:38I think the privilege here was to work with him
05:40making his most iconic character,
05:42Pedro Lescamoso,
05:44we know that Miguel has a great career,
05:46but what a pleasure to work with him
05:48when he is playing Pedro,
05:50Pedro is unique,
05:52and I think that without a doubt one of the most important characters
05:54of Miguel's career,
05:56so what I learned is how he handles comedy,
05:58the seriousness that Miguel puts in comedy,
06:03I think that's what makes it very funny,
06:05the times, he has a perfect timing,
06:07the way he faces each scene,
06:11how he works each scene,
06:13how he feels talking to his colleagues,
06:15let's do this, what do you think if we do this,
06:17remembering,
06:19reminding one as an actor that discipline
06:21is very important in this profession,
06:23teamwork,
06:25and that one never stops learning,
06:27without a doubt one never stops learning.
06:29He had been my boss,
06:31he was a producer of a series called
06:33100 days without killing them,
06:35and I knew him as a producer,
06:37they invited me to do a special participation,
06:39and well,
06:41I have known him as a producer, as an actor,
06:43and now as a director, he is great,
06:45Miguel is extremely talented,
06:47I think that what we would like,
06:49all the actors in the end,
06:51is to direct, to act,
06:53I think he is living the dream,
06:55the dream of any artist,
06:57he has a career, he deserves it,
06:59he deserves everything he has achieved
07:01for his talent and for his discipline,
07:03and it is a pleasure,
07:05he does not matter if he is producing,
07:07directing or acting,
07:09he always has the same attitude,
07:11he always comes to the set happy,
07:13at 7 in the morning,
07:15he is always making a joke,
07:17he is always annoying,
07:19that joy all the time
07:21that infects the technical team,
07:23the actors,
07:25and makes the day flow a little more
07:27calm, because the shoots,
07:29the schedules are a little heavy,
07:31so that positive attitude,
07:33and as we say in my country,
07:35the mother of the rooster,
07:37makes the day pass more calm,
07:39more relaxed, to work with discipline,
07:41with responsibility,
07:43but at the same time to enjoy the shoot.
07:50I am very grateful to Telemundo
07:52for this invitation,
07:54he is a character that I love,
07:56because I had never had the opportunity
07:58to make a character with so many nuances,
08:00completely indescribable,
08:02a human being,
08:04that's how I see it,
08:06with good things, bad things,
08:08mistakes,
08:10physical problems,
08:12he has a problem,
08:14I can't say much,
08:16but he has a sexual problem
08:18and he also makes some terrible decisions
08:20during the series,
08:22a character that suffers a lot,
08:24and as he says,
08:26he also honors
08:28the name of the series,
08:30he wants to take revenge
08:32for some unfair acts he does,
08:34a wonderful character,
08:36the only thing I can tell you is that
08:38he won't bore you,
08:40and you don't know
08:42what can happen,
08:44he is a completely indescribable character,
08:46he can be the most loved,
08:48he can be the most bad,
08:50he can be the most stupid,
08:52he can be the funniest,
08:54until the end you will discover
08:56his true intentions
08:58and everything that he will bring to the story
09:00and what has been his plan
09:02throughout the series,

09:22is that she and my children realize
09:24that I changed.
09:26I am sincere, they have forbidden me
09:28to talk about the subject,
09:30if I saw the video of Caro,
09:32on my side I have always said
09:34that they want to make a third season,
09:36hopefully it will be seen,
09:38we are getting closer and closer,
09:40and well, I hope I can also
09:42give that news at some point,
09:44that they allow me
09:46and that it can be given,
09:48but it is a project that we love,
09:50that has a great fanaticism,
09:52that people are waiting a lot
09:54and I can't wait to please them
09:56and that they can enjoy
